The San Francisco Giants haven’t made many moves so far this Hot Stove season. Their biggest acquisition has been Evan Longoria.
Like many fans, I was initially concerned by the front office’s inactivity. Then I realized that very few free agents or trade candidates have actually changed teams.
This is an extremely advantageous situation for the Giants. It appears that all teams are concerned about staying below the $197 million luxury tax threshold.
This means that teams have a specific price point above which they are not willing to spend for he players they are pursuing.
